CIT Reports Fourth Quarter 2014 Net Income of $251 Million ($1.37 Per
Diluted Share); Full Year Net Income of $1,130 Million ($5.96 Per
Diluted Share)

CIT Group Inc. (NYSE:CIT) , a leading provider of commercial lending and leasing services, today reported net income of $251 million, $1.37 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to net income of $130 million, $0.65 per diluted share, for the year-ago quarter. Income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter was $252 million, $1.37 per diluted share compared to $123 million, $0.61 per diluted share in the year-ago quarter.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $1,130 million, $5.96 per diluted share, compared to $676 million, $3.35 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2013. Income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $1,078 million, $5.69 per diluted share, compared to $644 million, $3.19 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2013. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2014 included $419 million, $2.21 per diluted share, of income tax benefits associated with the partial reversals of the valuation allowances on certain domestic and international deferred tax assets.

“We made good progress in 2014 building our commercial franchise,” said John Thain, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “In addition to growing our assets organically, we made two key acquisitions that will strengthen our commercial franchises and improve returns. Our focus on increasing shareholder value was reflected in the repurchase of more than $775 million of common shares and the increase in our dividend. In 2015, we will continue to build long-term value by focusing on closing and integrating the acquisition of OneWest Bank, returning additional capital to our shareholders, and meeting the financing needs of our small and middle market customers.”

All references in this section relate to continuing operations and therefore do not include any of the assets or results of operations of the discontinued operation.

Income from continuing operations of $252 million includes a $44 million reversal of an international tax-related valuation allowance. Income from continuing operations also reflects benefits from the sale of approximately $800 million of assets in our Commercial franchises that benefited other income, provision for credit losses and net finance margin, and $14 million in after-tax costs from our portfolio repositioning activities.

Total assets from continuing operations1 at December 31, 2014 were $47.9 billion, up from $46.5 billion at September 30, 2014, and $43.3 billion at December 31, 2013. Financing and leasing assets in North American Commercial Finance and Transportation & International Finance were $35.3 billion, a slight decrease from September 30, 2014 reflecting a high level of prepayments and asset sales, and up $3.9 billion (12%) from a year ago reflecting strong origination volumes and the acquisitions of Direct Capital and Nacco. The Non-Strategic Portfolios declined by approximately $0.2 billion from September 30, 2014 to $0.4 billion, and by $0.9 billion from a year ago, reflecting portfolio run off and asset sales, including the sale of the Small Business Lending portfolio in June 2014. Total loans of $19.5 billion decreased $0.3 billion from September 30, 2014 but increased by $0.9 billion from a year ago. Operating lease equipment decreased $0.3 billion from September 30, 2014 but increased $1.9 billion from a year ago to $14.9 billion. Cash and securities of $9.3 billion were up $1.7 billion from September 30, 2014 and $0.6 billion from December 31, 2013.

Net finance revenue2 was $373 million, improved from $325 million in the year-ago quarter and $365 million in the prior quarter.Average earning assets were $34.3 billion in the current quarter, up from $30.8 billion in the year-ago quarter and unchanged from the prior quarter. Net finance revenue as a percentage of average earning assets (“net finance margin”) was 4.34%, compared to 4.23% (4.29% excluding the impact of debt redemptions3) in the year-ago quarter and 4.26% in the prior quarter reflecting strong equipment utilization, a higher level of interest recoveries and the benefit of suspended depreciation on operating lease equipment held for sale, partially offset by portfolio re-pricing.

Other income of $116 million decreased from $128 million in the year-ago quarter but increased from $24 million in the prior quarter. The current quarter includes elevated benefits from asset sales, including a $30 million gain on the sale of aircraft to the joint venture and a $11 million gain from the sale of the U.K. corporate lending portfolio, partially offset by $17 million of impairments on assets held for sale on portfolios we are exiting. The current quarter also reflects a $9 million benefit from the repayment of a small number of problem loans and higher gains on investments, which includes $13 million from investment securities sold to comply with the Volcker Rule. In addition, there was an $11 million negative mark-to-market on the TRS derivative. The prior quarter included $46 million of aggregate impairment charges on Non-Strategic Portfolio assets as well as a $13 million negative mark-to-market on the TRS derivative while the year-ago quarter reflected net benefits from the Dell Europe portfolio sale and other elevated business activity.

Operating expenses were $249 million compared to $284 million in the year-ago quarter and $235 million in the prior quarter. Excluding restructuring costs4, operating expenses were $242 million, or 2.82% of average earning assets (AEA), compared to $266 million (2.87%) in the year-ago quarter and $225 million (2.63%) in the prior quarter. The decrease from the year-ago quarter reflects a $45 million tax agreement settlement related expense in the fourth quarter of 2013, while the increase in operating expenses from the prior quarter also reflects higher compensation costs, including the addition of Direct Capital for a full quarter, higher deposit costs and costs related to our strategic initiatives. In addition, we recorded a $3 million debt extinguishment charge in the fourth quarter. Headcount at December 31, 2014 was approximately 3,360, up from 3,240 a year ago, driven by the Direct Capital and Nacco acquisitions, and up slightly from 3,330 at September 30, 2014.

The provision for income taxes was a benefit of $28 million in the current quarter driven largely by the reversal of a $44 million valuation allowance on certain international deferred tax assets. Income tax expense was $29 million in the year-ago quarter, which included a $13 million discrete charge, and a benefit of $401 million in the prior quarter, reflecting a $375 million reversal of the U.S. Federal valuation allowance and a $30 million benefit related to the acquisition of Direct Capital. Excluding the impact of discrete items, the provision for income taxes reflects net tax expense on state and international earnings.

Credit and Allowance for Loan Losses

Credit metrics remain at or near cycle lows. Non-accrual loans decreased to $161 million, or 0.82% of finance receivables, at December 31, 2014 from $201 million (1.02%) at September 30, 2014 and $241 million (1.29%) at December 31, 2013. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily in North American Commercial Finance while the decline from the year-ago quarter was in both North American Commercial Finance and Non-Strategic Portfolios.

The provision for credit losses was $15 million, compared to $14 million in the year-ago quarter and $38 million in the prior quarter. The decrease from the prior quarter is primarily due to the reversal of specific reserves, $12 million of which related to the resolution of one account in North American Commercial Finance. Net charge-offs were $23 million, or 0.47% of average finance receivables (AFR), versus $15 million (0.32%) in the year-ago quarter and $19 million (0.39%) in the prior quarter. Net charge-offs in Transportation & International Finance were $8 million, (0.84% of AFR) which includes $6 million on receivables transferred to Assets Held for Sale (AHFS), compared to $12 million (1.40%) in the year-ago quarter and $4 million (0.44%) in the prior quarter. Net charge-offs in North American Commercial Finance totaled $15 million (0.38%), compared to net recoveries of $2 million in the year-ago quarter and net charge-offs of $16 million (0.40%) in the prior quarter, which included $11 million from charge-offs on receivables transferred to AHFS. Non-Strategic Portfolios had no net charge-offs in the current quarter, compared to $6 million in the year-ago quarter, which was impacted by $4 million related to the transfer of receivables to AHFS, and a small net recovery in the prior quarter.

The allowance for loan losses was $346 million (1.78% of finance receivables) at December 31, 2014, compared to $358 million (1.81%) at September 30, 2014 and $356 million (1.91%) at December 31, 2013. Specific reserves were $12 million at December 31, 2014, compared to $26 million at September 30, 2014 and $30 million at December 31, 2013.

Capital and Funding

Preliminary Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios at December 31, 2014 were 14.5% and 15.2%, respectively, relatively flat when compared to 14.3% and 15.0% in the prior quarter and down from 16.7% and 17.4% at December 31, 2013. The change from the year-ago quarter reflects an increase in risk-weighted assets due to higher order book commitments and asset growth and, to a lesser extent, a decline in regulatory capital resulting from goodwill and intangibles recorded with the Direct Capital and Nacco acquisitions. Preliminary risk-weighted assets totaled $55.5 billion at December 31, 2014, down slightly from the prior quarter and up from $50.6 billion at December 31, 2013. Book value per share at December 31, 2014 grew to $50.13 from $49.10 at September 30, 2014 and $44.78 at December 31, 2013. Tangible book value per share5 at December 31, 2014 increased to $46.83 from $45.87 at September 30, 2014 and $42.98 at December 31, 2013. The increases in book value and tangible book value primarily reflected our net income, including the partial reversals of the valuation allowance.

Cash and investment securities totaled $8.9 billion at December 31, 2014, and were comprised of $7.1 billion of cash, $0.7 billion of reverse repurchase securities and $1.1 billion of other short-term investment securities, compared to $7.2 billion at September 30, 2014 and $7.5 billion at December 31, 2013. Cash and investment securities at December 31, 2014 consisted of $3.4 billion related to the bank holding company, of which $1.2 billion will be used to repay unsecured debt maturing in February 2015, and $3.7 billion at CIT Bank (including $0.1 billion of restricted cash), with the remainder comprised of cash at operating subsidiaries and other restricted balances of approximately $0.9 billion each. CIT had approximately $1.4 billion of unused and committed liquidity under a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility at December 31, 2014.

Deposits grew approximately $1.4 billion from the prior quarter, and $3.3 billion from December 31, 2013, to $15.8 billion. At December 31, 2014, deposits represented approximately 46% of CIT Group funding, with unsecured and secured borrowings comprising 35% and 19% of the funding mix, respectively, reflecting the ongoing shift from unsecured borrowings to deposit funding. The weighted average coupon rate on outstanding deposits and long-term borrowings in continuing operations was 3.11% at December 31, 2014, compared to 3.16% at September 30, 2014 and 3.33% at December 31, 2013.

During the fourth quarter, CIT Bank closed a $750 million equipment lease securitization that had a weighted average coupon of 1.37% and was secured by U.S. equipment finance receivables. On November 12, 2014, CIT repurchased $300 million of its 4.75% unsecured notes maturing in February 2015, and recorded a $3 million loss on extinguishment, leaving $1.2 billion outstanding at December 31, 2014.

During the quarter, we returned $145 million in capital to our shareholders including $28 million in dividends and $117 million from repurchases of 2.5 million common shares, bringing the total capital returned in 2014 to $870 million, consisting of $95 million in dividends and repurchases of approximately $775 million of over 17 million shares at an average price of $45.42.

During January 2015, the Board approved a $0.15 cash dividend payable on February 27, 2015, and we repurchased an additional 4 million common shares under a 10b5-1 repurchase plan for an aggregate purchase price of $181 million. Approximately $146 million of the authorized repurchase capacity that expires on June 20, 2015, remained at January 23, 2015.

Discontinued Operation

There was a $1 million loss from discontinued operation, net of taxes, consistent with the prior quarter and compared to $7 million of income in the year-ago quarter. The discontinued operation reflects our Student Lending business that was sold in the second quarter of 2014.

Segment Highlights

Transportation & International Finance

Pre-tax earnings for the quarter were $185 million, up from $117 million in the year-ago quarter and $162 million in the prior quarter. The increase from the year-ago quarter primarily reflected asset growth and higher gains on asset sales. The increase from the prior quarter largely reflected higher gains on asset sales and increased rental revenue.

Financing and leasing assets at December 31, 2014 were $19.0 billion, flat sequentially and up 16% from $16.4 billion at December 31, 2013. The increase from the prior year reflected growth in all transportation divisions, while the sequential trend was impacted by sales of aircraft to the TC-CIT Aviation joint venture, and the sale of the U.K. corporate lending portfolio. Annual asset growth reflected increases of $1.5 billion in Aerospace, $1.2 billion in Rail, which included the Nacco acquisition in the first quarter of 2014, and $0.6 billion in Maritime, partially offset by a reduction in International Finance. The Maritime Finance portfolio now exceeds $1.0 billion in assets. Assets Held for Sale totaled $0.8 billion, and included the $0.4 billion U.K. equipment finance portfolio transferred at year end as well as the remaining $0.2 billion of additional aircraft to seed the joint venture. New business volume was $1.2 billion and consisted of $0.6 billion of operating lease equipment, including the delivery of eight new aircraft and approximately 500 new railcars, and the funding of $0.6 billion of finance receivables.

Net finance revenue was $233 million, up $41 million from the year-ago quarter and up $7 million sequentially primarily due to growth in earning assets. Net finance margin was 4.88% compared to 4.83% in the year-ago quarter and 4.82% in the prior quarter. The increases from prior periods were driven by higher rental yields in Rail. Gross yields in Aerospace decreased to 11.5%, reflecting lower rental receipts and lease re-pricings, while gross yields in Rail increased to 15.3% reflecting re-pricing and elevated usage.

Other income was $34 million, up from $7 million in the year-ago quarter and from $19 million in the prior quarter largely reflecting gains on asset sales, including aircraft sales to the joint venture.

Non-accrual loans of $37 million (1.05% of finance receivables) decreased from $42 million (1.13%) at September 30, 2014, and increased from $35 million (1.01%) a year ago. Provision for credit losses was $9 million, down from $15 million in the year-ago quarter and flat sequentially.

Operating expenses were $73 million, up from $68 million a year ago and down slightly from $74 million sequentially. The increase from the year-ago quarter reflects the European rail acquisition and investment in growth initiatives.

Utilization remained strong with 99% of both commercial aircraft and rail equipment on lease or under a commitment at quarter-end. All new aircraft scheduled for delivery in 2015 and approximately 83% of total railcars on order, have lease commitments.

North American Commercial Finance

Pre-tax earnings for the quarter were $122 million, down from $135 million in the year-ago quarter and up from $62 million in the prior quarter. The decrease from the year-ago quarter was largely attributable to higher operating expenses, while the sequential increase reflected higher gains on sales and lower credit costs.

Financing and leasing assets ended the year at $16.2 billion, down slightly from September 30, 2014, and up 8% from $15.0 billion at December 31, 2013. The increase from the prior year reflected solid new business volumes and the acquisition of Direct Capital in the third quarter while the sequential trend was impacted by prepayment activity and loan sales. Funded loan and lease volume of $1.6 billion was down from $1.8 billion in the year-ago quarter, and unchanged from the prior quarter.

Net finance revenue of $145 million increased from the year-ago quarter reflecting higher average earning assets, and decreased slightly from the prior quarter. Net finance margin was 3.94% compared to 4.14% in the year-ago quarter and 3.91% in the prior quarter. The decline in net finance margin from the year-ago quarter primarily reflects lower portfolio yields. Other income of $115 million, which included $50 million of gains on asset sales, was up from $107 million in the year-ago quarter and $71 million in the prior quarter. Operating expenses were $132 million and included a full quarter of Direct Capital expenses. This amount is up from $113 million in the year-ago quarter, which included a benefit from a workout-related claim, and from $126 million in the prior quarter.

Credit metrics remained at or near cycle lows. Non-accrual loans of $101 million (0.63% of finance receivables) were improved from $134 million (0.83%) at September 30, 2014, and from $147 million (1.00%) a year ago. The current quarter provision for credit losses reflected a reversal in specific reserves of which $12 million related to the resolution of one problem loan. Net charge-offs were $15 million (0.38% of average finance receivables), compared to $2 million of net recoveries in the year-ago quarter and net charge-offs of $16 million (0.40%) in the prior quarter.

Non-Strategic Portfolios

Pre-tax losses for the quarter were $28 million, compared to $16 million in the year-ago quarter and $56 million in the prior quarter, which included significantly higher impairment charges on held-for-sale portfolios. The decrease from the year-ago quarter reflects the decline in asset levels and lower non spread revenue primarily due to impairment charges in the current quarter.

Financing and leasing assets declined to $0.4 billion at December 31, 2014, down from $0.6 billion at September 30, 2014 and from $1.3 billion a year-ago, which reflects sales of international portfolios and the Small Business Lending portfolio, as well as portfolio runoff.

We continued to make progress exiting our non-strategic international platforms. During the fourth quarter we sold essentially all the smaller portfolios in Europe ($100 million) and signed separate definitive agreements to sell equipment leasing platforms in Mexico (approximately $230 million in assets at December 31, 2014), which is estimated to close in early 2015, and Brazil (approximately $150 million in assets at December 31, 2014), which is estimated to close in the second half of 2015.

Corporate and Other

Certain items are not allocated to operating segments and are included in Corporate and Other, including interest expense, primarily related to corporate liquidity costs, mark-to-market on certain derivatives, restructuring charges, certain legal costs and other operating expenses, including a tax agreement settlement charge of $45 million in the year-ago quarter. Operating expenses included restructuring charges of $7 million in the current quarter, compared to approximately $18 million in the year-ago quarter and $9 million in the prior quarter.

CIT Bank

Total assets were $21.1 billion at December 31, 2014, up from $20.3 billion at September 30, 2014, reflecting new business volumes, and $16.1 billion at December 31, 2013, also reflecting the Direct Capital acquisition in the third quarter. CIT Bank funded $1.9 billion of new business volume in the current quarter and $7.8 billion for the year. Loans totaled $15.0 billion, up from $14.7 billion at September 30, 2014 and $12.0 billion at December 31, 2013. Operating lease equipment was $2.0 billion, primarily railcars and some aircraft, unchanged from the prior quarter and up from $1.2 billion at December 31, 2013. Cash totaled $3.7 billion at December 31, 2014, up from $3.2 billion at September 30, 2014, and from $2.5 billion at December 31, 2013. Preliminary Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios were 13.0% and 14.2%, respectively, at December 31, 2014 compared to 13.0% and 14.3% at September 30, 2014 and 16.8% and 18.1% at December 31, 2013, reflecting increases in risk weighted assets and a decline in regulatory capital resulting from goodwill and other intangibles recorded from the acquisition of Direct Capital.

Deposits at quarter-end were $15.9 billion, up from $14.4 billion at September 30, 2014 and $12.5 billion at December 31, 2013. The weighted average rate on outstanding deposits was 1.63% at December 31, 2014.
